THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1890.
General Chesney has been appointed Colonel Commandant of Royal Engineers, vice Law! Napier deceased.
CONSTANTINOPLE, January 31st,
The International Sanitary Baard here an- nounce that cholera has disappeared in Meso- potamla and Persia, and that quarantine an arrivals from Bussorah and the Persian Gulf is abollshed.

He also to be It so happens that the proper urges the abolition of the Bombay and Madras functirins of an auditor were carefully commands Referring to the National Indian considered in the case of the Leeds Fatate Build. Congress he says the lime has come for extend. ing and Investment Company, whose faising the elective local Government system through came under the judicial netice of Mr. Justice. the greater part of India Stirling. The resul's, direct and indirect, of the investigation of that company's off irs cannot be tos widely known by way of example. It was provided by the company's artides of association; (1) That when the company should pay a divi. dend of five per cent, the directors should receive ixed, sum for each attendance, and a further fixed sum for every additional one per cent, ef dividend; (2) that the directors might declare dividends upon such estimates of accounts as they might think fit to recommend, but so that no dividend should be paid except out of profits; (3) that they should annually loy before the com pany a statement of the income and expenditure of the previous year, and a proper balance-sheet; (4) that the accounts of the company should be examined every year with the vouchers, and the correctness of the balance ascertained by an auditor, who should make a report on the balance sheet, stating whether, in his opinion, it was a full and fair statement, containing the *particulars required by the articles, and drawn upao na to exhibit a correct view of the state of the company's affairs.
Such was the programme; but it cannot be gaid that it was carried out in its entirety, for the company never made any annual profits, except in one year, when there was a gain of something less than five per cent. Neverthes less the directors in every year from the tist of commencement of business, declared and paid a dividend of five per cent, and sometimes more. It need scarcely be added that they remunerated themselves on the concsponding scale. Furthermore, relying on a resolution passed by the company, the direc tors from time to time paid certain bonuses to their manager. Clearly, all these payments were made out of capital. The balance-sheets from time to time prepared were the work of the manager rather than of the directors, and, need, less to say, they were delusive, inasmuch as they Bystematically over-estimated the assets of the company, and were prepared with the object of making it appear that there was a profit available for dividend. It may be asked, then, how the auditor viewed the requirements of the articles" so far as they related to himself? Apparently he thought very little about the matter, but was content to accept the manager's statement that the accounts submitted him were true copies of those entered in the books of the company, No proper statement of income and expenditure and no auditor's report were ever laid before the members. The directors themselves probably did not know the true state of affairs, and were willing to jake everything for granted so long as they could pocket their fees. It may interest other directors who are governed by similar prin- ciples, or want of principle, to be informed of the result of this over-confidence and greed. In the result, the directors of the Leeds Company were declared to have fallen short of the standard of care which they ought to have exhibited, and it was ruled that the onus lay uno show that the dividends so gally distributed bad | beca paid out of profits. Of course, they were unable to show this, and they thereupon were required to make good to the company the dividends, the directors' remuneration, and the bonuses for which cheques had beça ao gener. ously drawn.
them to
Doubtless, stern lessons to the same effect have been read to directors before, and will be read to them again as time goes on; but the decision at the same time given by the judge with respect to the easy-going auditor of the company contained some elements of novelty and surprise. Mr. Justice Stirling held that it is on auditor's duty not to confine himself to verifying the arithmetical accuracy of a balance. sheet, but that he ought to inquire into its substantial accuracy, und also to ascertain that it contains the particulars specified in the articles of association, and that it is drawn up in such a way as to contain a true and correct representation of the company's, affairs. In his lordship's opinion, the improper payments mad by the directors of the Leeds Company were the natural and immediate consequence of the breaches of duly committed by the manager and the auditor, and both of those officials were held liable in damages to the extent of the amount Improperly disbursed, except that, as to part of the claim, the auditor was lucky enough to make the Statute of Limitations available as. abar. This very important decision is not as widely known and appreciated as it ought to bp. Henceforth, however, it should be clearly understood that an auditor cannot, be heard to say that he is a mere servant of the directors, and, as such, free from any substantial respon sibifly. The auditor is a servant, not of the
directors, but of the company. His mission is
to protect the company and its members from wrong and robbery, and in order to do that, be must check the action of its directors and mana. gers. This is a sound and wholesome doctrine, and it is to be applied not merely to building sociales, but also to the administration of all sorts and descriptions of jointstock companies. Financial News.
